I have installed new flipper assemblies and while I don't have another SW to reference to the flipper assemblies still feel clunky like they bounce back a little after they flip. My Nineball is nice and smooth with older worn assemblies on it. Anyway I have adjusted the EOS switches, adjusted and filed the cabinet switches, and it seems to me that with new assemblies I should be able to make a nice strong shot around the rip tide with the left flipper. Now I am aware the shot geometry on this game isn't the greatest, but I watch videos of gameplay and feel that my flippers just don't react nice snappy and strong. I have noticed I get really big blue arcs off the EOS switches and the gi flickers when I hit the flippers. This game was dead when I got it and most flipper stuff was gone so I don't have any prior gameplay to compare it to. I have thought of converting over to WPC style on the bottom two assemblies to get some more smooth action, I am just posting to see if I am overlooking something.

The coils are a bit hot when touching them after 20 games over the paper.

I believe so. Where could I have screwed them up where they still would work? Just curious. I will double check

they appear to be correct

I will start by replacing the cab switches. I did notice better improvement when I oiled the spinner. That thing must have been dry. That flap is another issue in itself. It takes out all ball momentum when hit. The only pet peave I have now is the flipper bounce when it goes back to rest. I hate that.

Exactly my thoughts too. Classic bally is much better I do have a link kit I will swap and try it
